Nevag (Persian Art Music)

A Compilation of World Music by Contemporary Persian Artists

NEVAG is the result of X DOT 25 searching for the best world music artists and supporting up and coming talents. After listening to many hours of music from many different musicians, we chose these 13 songs to present on this collection.

This album is the first in a series of forthcoming projects which will be published under the title of Nevâg. Nevâg means "song" in the Pahlavi language, a language of pre-Islamic Persia. The Nevâg Music Compilation is designed to introduce talented amateur musicians to the public and give them the necessary exposure to open doors in the music industry and to encourage their continued creativity.Dozens of songs were submitted to X DOT 25 in 1995, and the thirteen presented in this collection were chosen on their artistic merit by our A&R staff as the most outstanding that would work as a whole to produce a cohesive album.

We thank you for buying the music of X DOT 25. As the final link in the chain, you, the listener, have a very important role. If you know a talented amateur musician, have them send us a demo tape of their best song- who knows what will happen!
